Becca Trevor never intended to see Jack Wolfe again. But fate has other plans … When Becca loses her boyfriend, her job and her apartment in rapid succession, she decides to come home to St. Caroline for Operation Figure Out Her Life. It’s not going well so far. Case in point: on her first night home, her mother’s quilt shop catches fire—with Becca in it. When she’s rescued by St. Caroline’s trusty fire department, she makes another unpleasant discovery. Jack Wolfe has returned from California … and he’s looking better than ever. They have a history together that neither of them has any intention of ever bringing up. But avoiding each other in a small town—and with mothers who are best friends—proves harder than it looks. Jack was the golden boy of St. Caroline. Ambitious, Ivy League-educated, law school-bound. In a family of firefighters, he was the one destined for a safer career. He’s home this summer for a family emergency, a situation that would not be improved by the news that he’s not the hotshot corporate attorney everyone thinks he is. If he can keep his real job a secret until the end of the summer, he’ll still be golden and no one else will be the wiser. But Becca has been keeping an even bigger secret … one that’s about to change their lives forever. Come to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and dive into a series featuring emotional family stories with relatable characters you’ll fall in love with, true-to-life problems and triumphs, and sweet romance that always leads to a happily ever after! Julia Gabriel writes contemporary romance that is smart, sexy, and emotionally-intense (grab the tissues). She lives in New England where she is a full-time mom to a teenager, as well as a sometime writing professor and obsessive quilter (is there any other kind?). If all goes well, she'll be a Parisienne in her next life. Her books have been selected as "Top Picks" by RT Book Reviews, and critics at RT Book Reviews, Kirkus, and others have called her work "nuanced," "heart-wrenching and emotional," "well-crafted contemporary romance," and "deeply moving storytelling."
